Vera Blue Flips 'Creep' on Like A Version
Australian artist takes a swing at one of the '90s most covered songs.
Vera Blue pulled up to triple j's Like A Version studio and did what countless artists have tried before — she took a crack at Radiohead's 'Creep.' You know the one. That song that lives rent-free in every alternative-radio listener's head and has been covered by literally everyone from Postmodern Jukebox to a cappella groups at college parties.
But that's only half the story. Blue also laid down 'Maze,' a track off her upcoming album Modern Rituals. That's the real news for people watching her moves — she's got new music coming, and the Like A Version session gave us a preview of what to expect.
Covering 'Creep' is always a gamble. The song's so iconic that you're either going to add something fresh or get lost in the shadow of the original. Blue's got the chops to make it interesting, and at minimum, the session shows she's not afraid to step into classic territory while pushing her own new work. Modern Rituals is the project to keep your eye on.
